Think It Over
Michael Zager Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Think it over, think it over...

Some people say You've been messing around,
Wish You could hear what they say
I'm not too sure, But You're just not the same,
We got to find us a way

[Chorus:]
Think it over,
Before You do something to tear us apart
Think it over,
All this talk is breaking My heart
Think it over,
Before You go out and do it again,
Think it over,
Just get together before it all ends
Think it over, Think it over

In the beginning, we both really cared
That's something that You should know
Let's think about all the love that we shared,
You shouldn't let it all go, so

Think it over,
Before You do something to tear us apart
Think it over,
All this talk is breaking My heart
Think it over,
Before You go out and do it again,
Think it over,
Just get together before it all ends
Think it over, Think it over

Think, Think it over
Think it over,
Think, Think it over, over

Better think,
Better think of the things You've done to Me
Better think,
Better think before I set You free
Better think,
Better think before You do wrong again
Better think,
Better think before the evening ends

Think, Think it over
Think it over,
Think, Think it over

Better think, Better think
What it's like to be all alone
Better think, Better think
What it's like in an empty home
Better think, Better think
'Cause I'm willing to forgive and forget
Better think about the love
That You ain't gonna get

Think it over

Can't we forget about the love that we had.
And make it just like brand new




I'm not too proud to forgive and forget,
But baby, what about you?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Michael Zager's song "Think It Over" seem to be more of a plea rather than a straightforward statement. The singer seems to be addressing a partner who may have been unfaithful or unreliable in some way. The opening lines speak to the hearsay that has gotten back to the singer. They are asking for clarification and hoping that the rumors are just that - rumors. The singer is honest about not being entirely sure what is going on, but there is something different about the partner. The chorus is a repeated plea for both parties to take a moment before making any decisions. The singer is hoping for reconciliation but acknowledges the need for both to understand what is going on. The chorus continues to reiterate this point and emphasize the heartbreak and potential impact of rash decisions.


In the second verse, the tone shifts slightly, and the singer is more nostalgic, reflecting on better times. The stanza ends with the plea to not let good moments and memories fade away. The chorus repeats, driving home the message of the need for restraint and communication. The bridge begins a back-and-forth between the couple, with the singer urging their partner to remember the consequences of their actions. The closing lines make it clear that forgiveness is possible, but it takes effort and a willingness to change.
